HADLEIGH United's promotion to the Premier Division has been confirmed by the Ridgeons League.

Despite slumping to a 3-0 home defeat to Ipswich Wanderers in front of a season's beat attendance of 184 yesterday, Hadleigh are now certain to finish in the top three.

Although both Halstead and Great Yarmouth can mathematically overtake Hadleigh, they play each other on the final day of the season, so Steve Jay's side can't be caught.
